Anchored along the Intracoastal Waterway for more than 30 years, Shooters Waterfront has built a reputation as a big fish in a big pond. With a bank of windows featuring endless water views and a kitchen that seamlessly turns out coastal classics, the restaurant has proven to be Fort Lauderdale¹s best take on affordable fine dining.
Shooters offers modern takes on culinary favorites in a relaxed, yet elegant dining space. The striking, sunny Intracoastal views, available from more than 400 restaurant seats, bathe the site¹s delicate taupe and ash décor in light. The new menu helmed by Executive Chef Rolando Cntonzio is fashioned with complex flavors, subtle textures and luxurious finishes.
